General information about our products and your order.

AC Schnitzer products and motorcycle silencers in general

Why does a sub-bike handlebar conversion make sense for many riders?

You often have back pain, your wrists hurt quickly or your neck hurts again and again? And you still want to ride your BMW motorcycle and have fun? We have a solution for most current BMW motorcycles and for you.

We supply all spare parts that you can assemble yourself without special tools or product-specific knowledge. These include, for example, sound inserts, mounting materials and brackets, clamps or connection pipes. For damage to your silencer we offer a repair service. This is possible with almost all damages, but not always economically reasonable. Contact us for more information. If you send us a picture of the damage to shop@ac-schnitzer.de, we can give you the estimated costs and the duration of the repair. Please do not disassemble your silencer yourself. Repairs that have not been carried out properly will result in the loss of approval. Silencers that have already been dismantled can no longer be accepted for repair.

I got offered a silencer. Can I put this in and will it fit?

Do not rely on statements that a silencer fits all vehicles listed in the information on the EG BE. This is not technically possible. A silencer must fulfil 2 factors in order to be mountable and approved on a certain vehicle. The first is that your vehicle is listed in the EG BE information. The second necessary circumstance is that exactly this silencer with the corresponding part number is also intended for your vehicle based on the manufacturer's list of uses (e. g. catalogue). If these two conditions are not met, or if the part number of the silencer is unknown, you should avoid making a purchase.

Do I have to change the engine control, the mapping after installing an AC Schnitzer silencer?

No, you don't have to. AC Schnitzer silencers are developed on standard vehicles and for standard vehicles. No EC type-approval can be obtained otherwise. Changes to the engine control system also invalidate the vehicle approval.

Where does my AC Schnitzer silencer actually come from?

AC Schnitzer silencers are manufactured in the EU in Austria. All AC Schnitzer silencers are developed and produced by REMUS according to our specifications. AC Schnitzer Motorrad-Technik is located in Aachen in the border triangle of Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands.

Do I need a catalyst?

A simple question with many answers. It depends on various circumstances such as the exhaust emission class of your vehicle. Basically, it can be said that if the original exhaust gas cleaning system is retained, your AC Schnitzer silencer does not require a catalytic converter. If your vehicle has a EURO 2 exhaust-gas classification or lower, then no new catalytic converter is required even if the original one is omitted due to the installation of your REMUS silencer and if the homologation of the silencer took place before May 18,2006. At AUK, the values of an identical vehicle without catalyst are then used as a basis, or the limit of 4.5 percent by volume CO With a Euro 3 or Euro 4 vehicle it is quite clear. The same values must always be achieved as with the standard exhaust system. An installation with Euro 3 homologation cannot be used on a Euro 4 vehicle. By the way, a silencer with EG BE will only be approved if it is equipped with a necessary exhaust gas cleaning system.

Do AC Schnitzer silencers have a glued or embossed logo?

AC Schnitzer silencers from current production all have a glued-on logo. This is either already glued on or is only included. So you can decide for yourself whether you want to use your AC Schnitzer silencer with or without logo. It is also possible to completely remove the stickers already attached. However, you must do this before you put the silencer into operation. As soon as it has become hot, the adhesive pulls on and becomes firm.

What about the approval of my AC Schnitzer product?

All AC Schnitzer products are legal and approved. You have either an ABE, a parts certificate, a component type-approval or an EC approval if required. The type of admission depends on what the law requires and makes sense. In order to obtain these approvals, AC Schnitzer, as a company, must have the necessary certifications and an extensive quality management system in advance and on a regular basis. This naturally also means that AC Schnitzer products are thoroughly tested in all aspects.

Are AC Schnitzer components manufactured in Aachen?

No. AC Schnitzer does not actually produce any parts at all. We are a pure development and distribution company. New products are conceived, designed, built as prototypes and tested in Aachen. The only exception are silencers. All AC Schnitzer silencers are developed and produced by REMUS according to our specifications. All other components are manufactured by renowned German partners. AC Schnitzer Motorrad-Technik is located in Aachen in the border triangle of Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands.
